EFL Championship
Our Three Predictions For Coventry City vs Sheffield United
- Prediction 1 – Brandon Thomas-Asante To Score- 13/10
- Prediction 2 – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 20/27
- Prediction 3 – Coventry City To Win – 8/13
First Prediction For Coventry City vs Sheffield United – Brandon Thomas-Asante To Score – 13/10
Continuing to build upon his fine form as of late, Brandon Thomas-Asante has been the standout performer behind Coventry City’s blistering start this season. With 8 goal contributions in as many games in domestic competitions, the Ghanaian failed to contribute for the first time in 7 matches against Wrexham.
Tied with Leicester City‘s Abdul Fatawu, Thomas-Asante leads the league in shots taken and only trails Joe Gelhardt for shots on target this campaign. Playing half an hour fewer than many of his teammates, the former Salford City man will be fresher against a poor defence like Sheffield United’s.
Second Prediction For Coventry City vs Sheffield United – Over 2.5 Goals Scored – 20/27
The stats speak for themselves and Coventry City are head and shoulders above everyone else with their tenacity up front. The Sky Blues have 36 goals in 13 matches so far, averaging just shy of 3 goals per game and on an evening where both Thomas-Asante and Haji Wright were quiet, goals came from elsewhere in the team.
For Sheffield United, they are taking slow steps of progress to where they were before, with 7 goals in their last 5 matches. Players like Callum O’Hare have been crucial to their improvement under Chris Wilder, with 6 goal contributions out of the 10 the Blades have scored all season. Their defensive woes are sure to continue against a rampant Coventry.
Third Prediction For Coventry City vs Sheffield United – Coventry City To Win – 8/13
After a brief sign of improvement for Sheffield United, the Yorkshire side have once again slumped to some tough losses, particularly this weekend against Derby County due to silly errors. Against Coventry, their woes look likely to continue, but there is no better time to face Frank Lampard’s side after their 1st loss.
City will surely bounce back after a tough loss on Friday night, and will have key players back available with Victor Torp and Milan van Ewijk likely to return. Wrexham’s Kieffer Moore and Josh Windass played out of their skin to overcome the Sky Blues, but the Blades forwards may not to be able to match that performance and once again dent these promotion ambitions.

Full Preview Of The Game: Last Results And Head-To-Head
Coventry City are reeling after their first loss of the Championship season, being bested by Wrexham in a thrilling affair in North Wales on Friday night. Despite goals from Ephron Mason-Clark and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, brilliance from Kieffer Moore and Josh Windass condemned Frank Lampard’s side to defeat.
Sky Blues remain top of the Championship ahead of midweek action by 3 points, with Middlesbrough squandering the chance to get back level after losing to Watford. They face a massive clash in their last match before the international break, playing Stoke City on the road.
Sheffield United still sit in the relegation zone after 13 matches, but signs of life have begun to sprout at Bramall Lane since the return of Chris Wilder. Wins against Watford and Blackburn Rovers have kept the Blades in touch of the teams above them, but United remain 3 points behind Southampton in 21st place.
The last game was a poor showing from Wilder’s men at home, being beaten 3-1 by Derby County. Perhaps the most emblematic sign of their struggles was Carlton Morris’ goal just after half-time, being gifted a goal from a poor Sydie Peck pass back. They face Queens Park Rangers in their final game pre-break.
These teams contested a pair of great matches last season, but both faltered to Sunderland in the playoffs. United won 3-1 at Bramall Lane in March, while they contested a 2-2 draw in the West Midlands last November. Since 2010, Coventry hold a slight edge with 7 wins to the Blades’ 6, with 6 draws in addition.
